A woman in Dehradun was arrested on Thursday for allegedly assaulting her neighbor's five-year-old son, Gaurav, with a grinding stone.

The accused, identified as Meena Devi, reportedly lured the child to her house on Wednesday and attacked him, leaving him gravely injured. Police detained her from Lakkhibagh after the child's father, Jagpal, lodged a complaint.

Police reports suggest the motive for the attack stemmed from an ongoing feud between the neighbors. Doctors at Doon Hospital revealed that the child suffered multiple fractures in his head and remains in critical condition under intensive care. Devi confessed to the crime during interrogation, expressing intentions of revenge.
